Någon som känner till någon äldre bok av engelsk författare som till största del handlar om att ragga tjejer? Hade varit intressant att jämföra den med "the game" av Neil Strauss.
Iofs inte engelsk, men rolig i sammanhanget kan den romerske skalden Publius Ovidius Naso vara, som ägnar de två första delarna av sin
Ars Amatoria åt konsten att ragga upp det täcka könet - typ:

Citat:
We've often lost our heart to a pretty girl at dinner. Bringing love and wine together is adding fuel to fire indeed.
Don't judge a woman by candle-light, it's deceptive. If you really want to know what she's like, look at her by daylight,
and when you're sober. It was broad daylight, and under the open sky, that Paris looked upon the three goddesses and
said to Venus, "You are lovelier than your two rivals." Night covers a multitude of blemishes and imperfections. At night
there is no such thing as an ugly woman! If you want to look at precious stones, or coloured cloth, you take them out into
the light of day; and it's by daylight you should judge a woman's face and figure.
- och så vidare; lätt överförbara på dagens samhälle och (moar important!) kvinnor. Ändra t ex "by candle-light" i det senare citatet till "i lysrörsljus" så har du ett handfast tips.
